Part IV: Are The Rules Being Followed?
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) says that The International Code and Practice the Safe Practice of Journalism is being violated everywhere. Even though any reporter or journalist in the field takes the risk of injury on the job, the IFJ sates that there are precautions that can be taken to keep yourself out of harms way. The guidelines that are out into place are unfortunately not always followed. They give the appearance of having the freedom of media and press, but that is definitely not the case. It is the same in the Ukraine.
"Ukrainian journalists are harmed or even killed quite often. the most recent, is because of their conflict with Russia. Some evidence of this is provided in the article "Media: Banned in Gambia, Defiant in Ukraine." Ukraine is a dangerous country in which to be a journalist in recent years. In 2004, 20 journalists were arrested and more than 30 were physically attacked. In the past 10 years, four journalists have been murdered in Ukraine." another example comes from the news article "JOURNALISTS' SAFETY REMAINS BIGGEST MEDIA FREEDOM CHALLENGE IN UKRAINE, SAYS OSCE REPRESENTATIVE." that was released on August 20, 2014.
"According to reports, on 15 August, a group of unidentified individuals destroyed and forcibly removed tents hosting a Spilno TV video-streaming hub at Independence Square in Kyiv. Spilno TV crew members Maxim Prasolov and Alexey Isayev were attacked and sustained serious injuries. Yuriy Bibik, a journalist with the 112 Ukraina TV channel, was reportedly blocked by the attackers whilst trying to cover the incident. Although criminal proceedings based on hooliganism charges were launched, some reports indicate that law enforcement officers present failed to respond to the incident."
According to the very same article, another reported was attacked and her camera broken. This goes to say that the Ukraine is not the greatest place to be a journalist at this point. It also goes to show that though there are rules, they are definitely not always followed, and the Ukraine is no exception.
Part V: Be A Hero
The definition of a hero is somebody, a man or woman, who helps others. There are heroes in journalism, as well. Segii Leshchenko, as of May 2014, is one of the Ukraine most celebrated anti-corruption investigative journalists. Leshchenko was selected as Reporters Without Borders' 100 Information Heroes 2014. Some of his accomplishments include an commitment to press freedom that never wavered. Not even during the chotic repression that was the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, nor in the post Orange Revolution Ukraine. He has always been committed to press freedom another example is, "As a Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) during the fall of 2013, Leshschenko continued to shine a light on Ukraine’s rapidly deteriorating press freedom landscape and decried the Yanukovych government’s heavy-handed tactics used to muzzle opposition voices."
Since joining the Ukrainian newspaper, Ukarinska Pravda in 2000 he has continued its legacy of a longstanding committment of press freedom, as any true hero of journalism should do. Part VI: Got News?
